On your first meeting with our staff, you will discuss the issues and problems which prompted you to seek treatment. You will be asked for a detailed history including previous treatments, medications, medical issues and family history. Your therapist will also give you more information about their personal philosophy and style of treatment. If both agree that you wish to work together to work toward your goals, a treatment plan will be developed which will include a projected number of therapy sessions.

Sessions are usually once a week and last for 50 minutes. If needed, sessions may be more frequent to help you deal with unforeseen stressors which might crop up along the way.

From time to time, your treatment may include "homework assignments". This may include reading articles or books, written exercises which increase your insight and self-awareness, or other opportunities to practice newly learned coping skills or stress management techniques.
